Rooibos and a few fair trade teas, but not many, are at Trader Joes, where I do 99% of my shopping. I wonder why Celestial Seasonings, the grandmamma of herbal teas on the supermarket shelves, hasn't gotten more into fair trade and organic. When I toured their facility in Boulder several years ago they made a big deal out of the environmental benefit (saving paper) of them not wrapping each tea bag in another paper wrapper within the box, like Stash and Good Earth and most of the others do.
